      Great for Crew Members. Sucks for Management

      Pros

      good pay, benefits, and you get to try a lot of new foods

      Cons

      Almost no work/life balance for Mates, lots of drama, poor follow through by senior management, rude customers, and very little accountability for underperforming Crew Members. Really, if a Crew Member gets in with the store Captain they can get away with just about anything they want

      Don't believe the hype

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Co-workers and managers are usually very upbeat, creative types who hold down a job to pay the bills while they pursue artistic endeavors. Very gay-friendly.

      Cons

      The 80/20 rule: 80% of the work gets done by just 20% of the crew. Lots of dead weight and management is very hesitant to lay off due to "diversity" concerns.
